Hexagon City

Has anybody else noticed that the system of East, West, North, South isn't really that efficient? Importantly, we build cities on this principle and we waste a lot of pavement on the extra roads and a lot of electricity on our stop lights. I think Ben Franklin was wrong with his square grid. We should have a hexagonal grid as I outlined below. There are only three directions, not four. You only go one way on a road and they alternate on whether they have two lanes or one. If you want to go opposite a direction, you take the other two routes to do so. It's more efficient going in diagonals and I suspect even going opposite, as above, given the lack of stoplights. More on this later... with Hexagon Globe.

Woo-hoo! I'm visitor #2500!

Mike said...

hmmm... I feel only a med student or my brother could be that excited about such a thing. I don't think it's my brother as he is generally eating and socializing about that time. Your use of symbolic grammar in "I'm" and "#2500" as well as your hyphenation of "woo-hoo" says it's not most of the med students I know and type to frequently, as well as firming up the fact that it's not my brother. hmmm...

Most of the med students from Loyola wouldn't be on the internet and have the time to type the message and notice the fact that they're number 2500. That is, given the fact that we have a test on Friday. The notion you're from a different school is also evidenced by the fact that your time stamp is different by one hour behind mine. The only person in med school that I know in the mountain time zone is... Diana! Am I right? You've got to tell me...

Yes! My, you figured that out rather quickly. I never thought a hyphen would be such a dead give-away. I suppose the time stamp was an unforeseen clue to my identity as well. Oh, and based on my test score today, I also did not have time to be on the internet then. Too bad I didn't realize that before...

Yes, I agree. Refreshing to find someone who thinks the same way. I have been working on such a plan for years as a pet project but, really, what Hexcity needs is not more designs as there are many: Charles Ward's Hexcity, King Camp Gillette's perfect city, and many others if you search the web. What this design really needs is more awareness. People are very square and breaking them free from the box isn't easy. I have a web site with a Hexagon Theory: Hexagontheory.com. I laid out the theory. Now it's all about awareness. You and I aren't the first to feel that hexagon city planning in theory and practice is better and won't we won't be the last the real problem is getting the masses on board. That is the true challenge.

Even in the most sexually liberated and self-satisfied of nations, many people still yearn to burn more, to feel ready for bedding no matter what the clock says and to desire their partner of 23 years as much as they did when their love was brand new.
The market is saturated with books on how to revive a flagging libido or spice up monotonous sex, and sex therapists say “lack of desire” is one of the most common complaints they hear from patients, particularly women.

I've been plagued by the idea of a hexagonal house for years. I still think its potentially the most interesting and versatile shape, as far as aesthetics go, but it turns out after researching it more, its also more efficient!

I agree with the (late?) Mark Twain above - we need to increase the awareness of the inherent economy and beauty implicit within the hexagon.

Bees! (think about it!)
